If you experience connectivity issues when you are running multiple 4K live streams on the Arlo Secure App, ensure that your Wi-Fi environment and camera settings are configured to optimal settings.
Check your Wi-Fi environment:
- Make sure the signal of your Arlo Ultra camera is strong.
- Keep other Wi-Fi devices away from the Arlo Ultra camera, Arlo SmartHub, and Arlo Base Station to avoid interference.
